We set our expectation right, because we understood it rationally. * Problem happens when our expectation doesn't conform the reality. And most of the time, we have no power or control to change the reality to suit our expectations. * But we have control over our mind, rationally, to conform the unchangeable reality while we improve ourselves. 4 * The case of renting a room above, applies to every other problem in our life. We hard to cope with heartbreaks, sadness, anger, disappointment, and anxiety; is mostly because we can't control our rational mind to set the right expectations. * We're very shook when someone we love suddenly broke our heart; friends we trust backstabbed us out of nowhere; or project we hope to succeed had to end up being a failure. * But what if starting today, we understand that people are changing; that they have a good and a bad side, just like ourselves, just like everybody else; and we also understand that our big project doesn't have a perfect chance to succeed, because it depends on so many factors. * Knowing all that, when the worst scenario did happen; when our loved one broke our heart, our friends left us, or our project ended up fail; we're still able to retain our good feelings even though our circumstances seem bad. Because we're prepared for that, in our mind, rationally. It is one of the attitude of a Stoic. IT'S DIFFERENT. IT'S A PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY Unlike most of any other philosophy, Stoicism doesn't concern itself with intricated debate about the universe and humanity in general.

The passive substances are matter, and the active substances is Logos (Universal Reason), Human, an intelligent aether which acts on the passive matter. Everything is subject to the laws of Fate. And since the right Reason is the foundation of both humanity and the universe, it follows that the goal of life is to live according to Reason, that is, to live a life according to Nature. For me, I understand this as a principal value to live balancely according to the laws of nature. > The universe is a web of cause and effects. We may not always have control > over the events affecting us, we can have control over how we approach things. CARDINAL VIRTUES Rather than focusing on imagining an ideal society, the Stoics try to deal with the world as it is, while pursuing self improvements. To guide towards that goal, the Stoics have four Cardinal Virtues: https://raihankalla.id/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Virtues.png * Sophia (Wisdom), the ability to navigate through complex situations in a logical, informed, and calm manner. * Andreia (Courage), facing daily challenges with clarity and integrity, not just in extraordinary circumstances. * Dikaiosyne (Justice), treating others with fairness, even if they've done wrong. * Sophrosyne (Temperance), the exercise of self-restrain and moderation in all aspects of life. While Stoicism focuses on personal improvements, it's not a self-centered philosophy, nor encouraging passivity. * By the initial establishment of Stoicism, Roman laws considered that slaves are property.
